It is people like you who get places closed to fishing altogether by doing stuff like that. Go fish somewhere else till they get it fixed. Don't be an idiot.

Might also be an indication of sheepshead. Or carp.

You can use floats, for sure. You get some smallies mixed in with the cats, not big but maybe 1 - 2 pounds. That's always a treat. The first rapids is always pretty dependable in summer. You get them at Dennys Dam too but less of them, most are at first rapids or the big bend. Easy fishing, and...

Saugeen is always good in the summer. Its easy fishing, just use worms and pretend you're fishing for rainbows. Most are 3 - 5 pounds, some are bigger.

Different people have been chirping about atlantics for more than 30 years. They first stocked them in 1986. It's always been "just 5 more years." Then 5 years later, there's still zero returns, and zero reproduction. So they do another study and say it will be just 5 more years. Again. You...

Look around, man. Look at the trespassing, the snagging, the huge piles of garbage that people leave all over the place. I've come to the conclusion that a huge number of fishermen are just plain morons. Need proof? Trout opener isn't that long off.

Pictures, please. What you are describing are brown trout, not atlantics.

Congratulations, because that makes you about the only person in the province to catch them in Lake Ontario. You're doing better than an entire fleet of charter boats and thousands of other anglers.

Perhaps they did have poaching issues, who knows. But yeah, if it says no fishing see exceptions, then you're restricted to what's in the exceptions and that's it.

It says "no fishing." That's as clear as it gets.

Yeah have fun with that LOL!

Unless you're using something like 100 lb test, fluorocarbon doesn't stand up against teeth any better than monofilament. Try it and see for yourself. If you insist on trying it, give the fish a break at least, and only use single hooks so you don't leave the thing with a mouth full of crap...

If you don't want to snag salmon then I would avoid both of those spots and fish off the piers instead. I know I'm going to get flamed big time for saying this but the truth is that at least 90% of the salmon caught upstream in rivers are snagged, intentionally or otherwise. Not all, but at...

I don't know about the mob knowing best. But 35 years of scientific evidence gathered by OMNR says this program is a failure. Are you kidding me? It has nothing to do with atlantics not being fun to catch. It has everything to do with them not contributing to the fishery in any way whatsoever...

Is that so? Well you're the only one in the province that believes that - including MNR. Atlantics don't do well even in perfect, pristine wilderness rivers in Newfoundland, Labrador, Norway and Scotland. Anyone who thinks they're going to thrive in the Credit or Ganaraska is so badly deluded...

Not true. Returns to the Credit in 2011 were 33 fish. See https://www.spoonpullers.com/forums/index.php/topic,19871.0.html Time to cut our losses and move on. Why not put that same effort into steelhead? They at least survive and provide a worthwhile fishery.

Considering the results from millions and millions of fish stocked by both Ontario and New York since 1984, I think it's pretty clear that this program is a total failure and is not worth continuing at any cost. We stocked 100,000 coho in the Credit in the late 60s, and within 2 years people...

Yeah, here we go again. Instead of resorting to personal attacks and babbling about French fries, why won't you just admit the truth? The atlantic program is a total failure. OMNR has stocked tens of millions of these things into Lake Ontario tributaries since 1984, and with nothing to show...

Both look like juvenile lakers to me.

There are walleye down in the lower end of the river through the summer, nothing big but some decent eaters. There are also occasional channel cats. You won't see any rainbows/steelhead (same fish btw, just 2 different names) till fall when it gets cooler. Salmon usually show up in late August...
